Why this censorship kolaveri ?



Yes , i used kolaveri in the title to make it stand up more in google search . But that is beside the point. 


Long holidays and no company drive any person insane. No different here . Facebook is become the most boring place on the earth , suddenly being invaded by gospels , social messages ( a like can save a Somalian child from certain death ), posters and  the crazy mindless football fans ( GO arsenal) who sitting in their armchairs proclaiming  that THEIR team is winning ( especially the bloody Man Utd fans) . Tired and sickened of all this nonsense , I tuned on to the TV  . Big mistake . Switched to star movies .
Bigger mistake. 


The whole point of subtitles is to provide a transcript of the dialogue so that the people watching can follow the dialog closely . However whats the point of it if it is totally censored . 
This is how a subtitle goes


 " Keep talking sweety and I'm gonna stick the **** right up your *****. I dont give  a *****  as to what you ******, you ******** !


To decode the ****** we need to use the following key


*** - ass
**** - fuck 
***** - bitch
********** - God knows what . 


If they ever telecast Lock , stock and two smoking barrels on Star movies , the subtitles would go like this . 


******* !@#@#@#? ?? ************ yes , *******, awright ...^%&%^&*******
************     *)()())()(


And then there is that stupid message every once in a while  "If you find anything that you consider as inappropriate in this channel please call &***(*(*(*(*(#$$#
, the broadcasting authority of INDIA " 


Some arent censored as bad this . They are translated into worse forms .
Shit becomes crap. Holy shit becomes holy crap . I dont think  any god man would approve of holy crap over holy shit . 


OK . Granted i dont like censoring the bad words . But that's just me. Kids might be watching the channel. Old conservative babus might be watching Sin city with their entire family in tow. This **** needs to be done .  But why is it that many would find the word gay abusive or inappropriate ? "Queer" doesnt solve this . Infact it makes it even worse by showing that star movies  doesnt want to accept same sex relationships as a reality and portray it as a fictional , non-existing occurrence .
LGBT groups will be sickened by this portrayal of what is not a taboo anymore by a channel as respected as star movies .
While the sensitivity is appreciated , it should be done in the right way . Trying to pretend that  a problem doesnt exist is not THE solution . Sensitize people by showing them the reality . 


The stupid government doesnt understand this . It is not run by intelligent people , rather by sheep that just follow the leader blindly ( which turns out to be nothing but a wolf in disguise ) . It will take another 200 years for them to realise that we live in a modern world and not in the 18th century . So please , heed my request and stop censoring shit . After seeing it all over the country , we are sad that it isnt shown in the screen too. SO stop censoring , for the worst part of censoring is ************************
